Heartland, RBS WorldPay lawsuits consolidated

June 11, 2009

A federal court body ruled this week that litigation facing two payment 
processors, Heartland Payment Systems and RBS WorldPay, will be 
consolidated.

In separate judgments, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation 
decided this week that lawsuits against Heartland will be heard in Texas, 
while action against RBS WorldPay will be moved to Georgia.

Thirty-one separate lawsuits, on behalf of consumers, investors, banks and 
credit unions, have been filed against Princeton, N.J.-based Heartland, 
which disclosed in January that its systems were breached. Heartland did

number around 100 million, making it the largest reported data breach in
